Upperclass Guards Making Breakout Moves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five upperclassmen guards are continuing to develop and show why they deserve more attention as they enter the second halves of their high school careers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1719289"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a821e2e75f78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maria is a creative passer who can thread the needle through multiple layers of defense to set up her teammates for good looks. She has a killer crossover that can completely shake her defender and create a clear path to the rim. Maria also runs her lane well in transition to find easy scoring opportunities and has good hands on defense, frequently poking the ball away from dribblers and turning those plays into fast-break chances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1877383"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a821e2e75fc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morgan has been playing at a high level with her team's summer league squad as she prepares for her upcoming junior season, where she'll look to continue getting on more coaches' radars. She has a smooth stroke from 3-point range and is extremely quick with the ball in her hands, making her difficult to catch when she gets out in transition. Morgan also plays with patience, rarely rushing her decisions and instead allowing the game to come to her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1871441"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a821e2e75ff8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kallie attacks the basket strong and does a good job playing off two feet to stay balanced through contact. She's capable of splitting defenders and getting all the way to the rim to finish. Kallie is also a reliable catch-and-shoot option from the corners, where she knocks down shots at a high rate. She complements her perimeter shooting with a soft floater around the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233645"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a821e2e76028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kendra is a knockdown 3-point shooter who can space the floor and punish defenders for giving her too much room. She also fights hard on the offensive glass to create extra opportunities for her team. Kendra has a tight handle and uses shifty dribble combinations to make herself difficult to stay in front of. Her long wingspan allows her to keep the ball high on her jumper, while her high release point makes the shot difficult for defenders to contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1896870,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a821e2e76057"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samantha has a soft touch around the rim and a nice pull-up jumper from around the free-throw line. She sees the floor well and consistently makes unselfish passes to put her teammates in position to score. Samantha is especially effective in drive-and-kick situations, getting through the first layer of defense before making the right read when the second layer collapses on her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
